Not sharp enough, the edges. Can you share where you got that one from? I have bought two 45mm rad cases from two different AliE stores. The one from Geervo came with sharp corners, the other whose shop I don’t remember was just like this. It was cheaper though, I think I got it for $20.

It's one for the bin,you might not be able to make it out on the photo but the hole for one of the lugs isn't drilled deep enough so the screw doesn't locate in the slot and is proud of the case. The seller doesn't appear to know what a lug is and when I asked why there is no movement holder he didn't know what that was either. It's HMFIT Watch Store.

Yeezus! Did you file for a return or a refund? This would have been an open and shut case. I once received a mini fiddy case that was not of my liking and I send it back. More than the money, I just didn't want to look at it because it reminded me of a bad purchase.

For what it cost the bin is the best place,I know what you mean about it reminding but with the current situation in Spain queueing in the post office is too much hassle. I might see if I can get some wire that I can bend and use cold solder to make a one piece lug. It's part of the AliExpress model that some sellers suddenly can't understand English when there is a problem.
Or maybe the seller has no idea what they are selling.

Don't try to discuss with the seller, just open a dispute on AliExpress, ask a refund with pics and details. Alix customer service will manage the deal with the seller.

I have now, just thought I'd give the seller the chance to sort something,from what I've read they are surviving only pretty slim margins.

If you get time could you dig out the reference of the €20 case. If and when I get a refund I might try that one.

Neither of the 3646 cases have filled me with confidence in the screw-in lugs,has anyone tried Loctite epoxy weld as a belt and braces option?
